What happened on Huiyang Street was soon known by Luo Qingluan.
Zhang Yaoshun was taken out of the house by Lin Yixuan early in the morning, and the latter also told Luo Qingluan to rest assured that the Criminal Department would definitely find out the truth and return her innocence. But now, Luo Qingluan actually heard Liang Yuyan say that there was an interception and killing on the way, and there were countless casualties in the chaos, and she was also very surprised.
Shocked, Luo Qingluan's eyes moved, and he quickly returned to his normal color: "As expected, something really happened." It's just that I didn't expect it to be so serious, Yuyan, how many people died? โ
Recalling what she saw on the street just now, Liang Yuyan also had palpitations: "At least there are no less than fifty people, including the interceptors, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who heard the news, and the secret guards under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who escorted them, as well as the ordinary people who were affected. Princess, fortunately, you weren't there at the time, otherwise you would have really ......"
Unable to bear it, she shook her head with a heavy expression.
As you can almost imagine, Luo Qingluan deeply feels that this matter is far from being as simple as it was at the beginning. Zhao Ningyi's death is just the beginning, and the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is unimaginable.
After receiving the news, Lin Yixuan had already hurried over, and Luo Qingluan guessed that he was only afraid that he would come back for a while and a half. She didn't show the worry in her heart, so Liang Yuyan accompanied her to lunch, and the two went to the study to discuss the matter.
But after another three hours, it was already approaching dusk, and Lin Yixuan still didn't appear.
There is more and more an uneasy premonition, Lin Yixuan knows that this matter is serious, she will definitely be worried, even if she doesn't come back, she should send someone to tell her, but it is almost dark, and there is no news, Luo Qingluan secretly feels that he is afraid that this matter has involved him.
When she was worried, suddenly there was movement at the door, and the door was directly pushed open, Liang Yuyan was immediately alert, and blocked in front of Luo Qingluan to protect her. When she saw that it was a woman in her early twenties, Liang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately said, "Qingmei, why did you come here, but what happened?" โ
Qingmei is a subordinate of the Beijing branch of her treasure embroidery workshop, and she usually sits in the shop, and she is also dealing with everything, but she has never been to the prince's mansion. As soon as she appeared, Liang Yuyan suddenly felt bad.
"Shopkeeper, it's not good, I received news that someone has been sent from the palace to arrest Mrs. Luo and you." Qingmei was in a hurry, she couldn't even bother to salute, and immediately said: "I'm afraid that this will be almost to Huiyang Street, shopkeeper, Mrs. Luo, you should run away quickly." โ
"What?" Liang Yuyan was taken aback, and her color suddenly changed.
Luo Qingluan didn't expect that the matter would develop so seriously, but he was afraid that something happened to Lin Yixuan, and since they had directly sent people to arrest them, even if they hid in the Prince's Mansion again. She immediately said, "Without further ado, we will leave the Prince's Mansion immediately." โ
Liang Yuyan said worriedly: "But Wang ......"
blurted out and almost shouted 'princess', but fortunately, she stopped in time, she didn't publicize Luo Qingluan's identity everywhere, for the sake of safety, even her own henchmen didn't say it. The more people who know, the more danger of leakage, in order not to let Luo Qingluan suffer unnecessary danger, Liang Yuyan did not say.
"Does it matter if you want your body?" She looked at Luo Qingluan worriedly.
"I can't care about it so much now, let's leave quickly." Luo Qingluan struggled to stand up, and suddenly felt a heaviness in his abdomen. Liang Yuyan hurriedly supported her, and the two quickly went out, Qingmei opened the way in front, and none of the three of them were notified, and quickly left through the back door.
Just when Luo Qingluan and the others had just left the prince's mansion for a cup of tea, the secret guards in the palace had already rushed to the door of the prince's mansion. There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and more than a dozen secret guards rushed to the Flying Snow Pavilion with great momentum, and when they pushed the door, they saw that the house was empty.
"Oh no, they've escaped!" The dark guard led by the dark guard's face sank, and shouted: "Hurry up and chase!" Be sure to get them back. โ
Hiding in a small alley next to an inn, Liang Yuyan saw a group of secret guards speeding through the street, apparently searching for them, and only when the pursuers gradually moved away did she return to an ordinary house at the end of the alley and walked in.
It was already completely dark, and the sound of insects in the courtyard made the surroundings even more silent. Not only was the dwelling not good, but it was also a little dilapidated, with a few tiny holes in the bricks of the roof that could be seen by candlelight.
In the house, Luo Qingluan hadn't slept yet, Qingmei was standing next to her, and when she saw Liang Yuyan coming back, she let go of her worries. Walking to the table and sitting down, Liang Yuyan said what she had just seen: "I actually searched overnight, but I am afraid that the matter will really make a big fuss, and when it is dawn, I am afraid that the search will be strict." Madame, what should I do now? โ
In front of Qingmei, she temporarily called Luo Qingluan Mrs., and the province revealed her identity as the princess of Chu.
There is more and more feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Luo Qingluan didn't feel so serious before, she only thought that the person behind the scenes was targeting her, but now it seems that she is afraid that not only that, the other party's target should be more serious than she imagined, maybe from beginning to end, the other party's target is Lin Yixuan, not her.
Now that things have developed to such an extent, it is impossible to calm things down.
Leaning on the tattered wooden table, Luo Qingluan slowly sorted out what had happened before. From Zhao Ningyi suddenly finding her and saying those words, which caused a dispute, and then Zhang Yaoshun's suspicions, poisonous hair, and then to the later interrogation, attack and killing......
"Yuyan, didn't you ask you to check the situation in Imperial Doctor Zhang's house before to see if you could find anything?" Luo Qingluan suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I've let people go, but there's no news yet." Liang Yuyan frowned and said: "But looking at the situation now, I'm afraid that it will be impossible for a while, someone in Zhang Yaoshun's family must be searching, these people can't find Mrs. You, so naturally they won't let go of Imperial Doctor Zhang's family." โ
The matter has reached an impasse again, and Luo Qingluan doesn't know if he can still get clues, even if Liang Yuyan's people find out the problem, it may not be useful. And now the wind is so tight, even if you want to do something, I'm afraid there are many restrictions.
After a long time, Luo Qingluan said: "Don't worry about it first, wait until dawn." โ
If things really can't be cleaned up, and it's not the time when she can control it personally, then she has no choice but to use the power of the Dark Night Hall.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Liang Yuyan got Luo Qingluan's orders, disguised herself and left.
But soon she came back with one more person by her side. This time, Liang Yuyan looked very surprised: "There is good news, madam, the person sent to investigate Imperial Doctor Zhang has returned, and she has made a discovery." โ
Next to her was a woman of seventeen or eighteen, who obviously knew Qingmei. The two looked at each other and nodded with a smile, Qingmei took the initiative to go up and hold her hand and asked, "Xiaoyu, what did you find, hurry up and say it, the shopkeeper and Mrs. Luo are very anxious." โ
The young girl named Xiaoyu wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "I found it, shopkeeper...... I went to Dr. Zhang's house yesterday and found that his wife was angry......"
Xiao Yu panted and told yesterday's events, when she went, she happened to hear Mrs. Zhang's wife Zhou crying, and the maid comforted her, saying that there was a reason why the master didn't come back, not to go to the second aunt. Zhou's jealousy did not disappear, and he was still indignant after scolding a few words, so he simply took the maid back to his parents' house.
At this time, Xiaoyu immediately entered the house and searched everywhere, Zhang Yaoshun's house only had a few servants left, and she couldn't stop her at all. Soon, Xiao Yu searched Zhang Yaoshun and his wife's room, but found nothing of value. She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something.
"I thought that Zhang Yaoshun also has a second aunt, maybe all the secret things are hidden over there." Xiao Yu said quite proudly: "I went out to inquire about the neighbors of the Zhang family, and sure enough, I found the woman's residence." โ
Zhang Yaoshun's second aunt didn't know that Zhang Yaoshun had an accident, and was counting the money in the house, but to Xiaoyu's surprise, she actually counted five thousand taels of silver tickets, and then carefully hid them in the jar and placed them under the floor tiles under the bed.
Since Zhang Yaoshun is investigated, Xiaoyu is clear about how much he has a monthly salary, and it is absolutely impossible to have so much money. If it weren't for Zhang Yaoshun's ill-gotten gains, it would be that this second aunt was too problematic!
Xiaoyu immediately broke into the house, and under a burst of threats, the second aunt confessed, saying that the money was given to her by Zhang Yaoshun the first night, and asked her to keep it away from being discovered. She also asked Zhang Yaoshun where the money came from, after all, there were so many, but Zhang Yaoshun didn't say anything, just asked her to put it away, and told her not to say it.
At that time, the woman also said that it might be that Zhang Yaoshun was afraid that his wife would know, so he didn't let him say it, but I guessed at once that there was definitely something wrong with the money. I was afraid that Zhang Yaoshun would be bought, so he poisoned Zhao Shizi, and the five thousand taels of silver tickets are evidence. โ
Liang Yuyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and asked, "That Zhang Yaoshun's second aunt, have you looked at her well?" Now that Zhang Yaoshun is dead, she is an important witness? โ
Xiao Yu immediately said: "Don't worry, this is a big deal, I knocked the woman unconscious and brought it back." โ
"Great, ma'am." Liang Yuyan finally became happy: "As long as this woman testifies, it can be proved that Zhang Yaoshun was bribed, so he poisoned Zhao Shizi, and the case has nothing to do with his wife." โ
I didn't expect to hear such good news in a blink of an eye, and Luo Qingluan was also relieved: "Yes, fortunately, there are still witnesses, so it proves that Zhang Yaoshun has a problem, and you can follow the investigation." It's just that I don't know what's going on with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, this matter is so serious, I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve. โ
Liang Yuyan asked, "What about ...... Madam, should we tell Zhang Yaoshun about being bought? โ
After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan said: "In this way, you find someone to write a letter, write the matter clearly, and then send someone to the Criminal Department, and then they will naturally report it, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is implicated, the truth will naturally be revealed." โ
"However, wouldn't Your Majesty wonder if it was Zhang Yaoshun who was bought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Luo Qingluan pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "It depends on whether Emperor Southern Wei wants to make a big deal or make a big deal small." โ
